Good morning Everyone,
I have a few questions today on disposable curtains and their use in general and Transmission based precaution rooms. The company claims that the curtains in anti-microbial and can hang for up to 12 months, unless contaminated. Does anyone currently uses these curtains in your facilities, and if so:
1. How often do you change them?
2. Do you throw them out when a patient gets discharged from a Transmission based precautions room?
3. If it gets thrown out, do you do it for all organisms, or just for Droplet and Contact spread organisms?Thank you

Hi there, we had these curtains up in our ICU for 12 months with no issues. We replaced them once due to a contact precautions patient being in a side room. As for the antimicrobial factor I am still not sure it works. However they are very good at being able to be sponged clean if a small spillage occurs on them.
